The dudes (it’s always dudes) who want to work in basketball analytics and tell me “I built a tool for predicting player prop bets” are always a surprised when I tell them to go to hell

Friday Fish Fry at a divey place in Wisconsin, with a bottle of malt vinegar of extremely dubious age

Ironic, since Frey shouted “fuck” and got a bunch of national media interviews, but has done fuck-all since.
In the Skyway 20 minutes after an ice abduction, mayor Frey walks through the government center. A lady yells at him "what are you doing to stop this? Fuck you." He responds, "is that helpful?" With a smirk on his face.

Now is the time to reach out to your federal representative to let them know you don’t support funding DHS.

It’s hard to overstate how mainstream defiance of the federal occupation of Minnesota is. This is from 5:00 yesterday at 50th and France. 50th and France! Minnesotans aren’t having this.

This would have been a good point for someone to have asked, is that really how things work? Or is vacuum in fact an excellent insulator? www.ft.com/content/a5cf...
